#20649: Cannot uninstall port that was deleted from MacPorts due to phantom dependency ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: gale@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by gale@…): Replying to [comment:1 snc@…]:
At some point was upgrade run on these ports?
On a regular basis, I do: {{{ sudo port sync; port outdated; sudo port -u upgrade outdated }}} That's about it.
It would make sense to me that the dependency tree was not upgraded during the upgrade,
Yes, somehow the above regualr upgrade process seems to have caused that. And I'll emphasize that this has happened several times before, with other ports.
though all meta information available indicates there is no much dependency.
That is now. Apparently, xorg-libs did depend on xorg-lbxutil before the latter was removed from MacPorts.
Perhaps simply do a force uninstall to get rid of the symptoms?
Well, yes. But I'm going to wait this time, in case someone wants me to investigate further. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20649#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
